Out There

Richard MacManus asks, Are you an “Out There” Person?:

* Value fame as an “asset”
* Willing to share certain types of sensitive information on the web
* Believe it is appropriate to criticize their organizations on the web
* Believe that “organizations need to be more transparent to succeed”
* Believe “there’s no harm in openly discussing the work I do inside my organization with others”

The findings are in a report from the Attention Company and includes this warning — “Any attempt to control it ham-handedly will only lead to excessive blowback.” You have been warned!

Misty wants a mobile phone so she can shoot pictures and videos, surf the web and get email, play music and games, get GPS data and store documents, and get great phone reception anywhere on Earth. I want a mobile phone for phone calls, a high-megapixel camera, and an ultra-light laptop with WiFi. But I was impressed by this post by Rudy De Waele, and his quote from Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google:

Mobile phones are cheaper than PCs, there are three times more of them, growing at twice the speed, and they increasingly have Internet access. What is more, the World Bank estimates that more than two-thirds of the world’s population lives within range of a mobile phone network. Mobile is going to be the next big Internet phenomenon. It holds the key to greater access for everyone – with all the benefits that entails.
